Paraphrasing the song made famous in the 1960s by The Troggs and wonderfully updated by Bill Nighy in "Love Actually" Big Data is really all around us. We are making more and more data about ourselves available to a broader audience. But what if that data is stolen? Is it useful to anyone?
A look at the new products coming from this year's Consumer Electronics Show is proof that 2014 will be the year that wearable technology moves from The Valley of the Geeks in Main Street. Google Glass is perhaps the most feted piece of wearable tech but there are dozens of wristbands that track our activity, apps that we can log our meals in and devices for capturing all manner of biometric data. Intel even released an earbud that tracks your pulse and reminds you get more exercise.
